OK, let's crack this. We're given 357 and our task is to multiply it by 36. Essentially, we'll be adding 357 to itself 36 times.
Step 1: 0 + 357 = 357
Step 2: 357 + 357 = 714
Step 3: 714 + 357 = 1071
Step 4: 1071 + 357 = 1428
Step 5: 1428 + 357 = 1785
Step 6: 1785 + 357 = 2142
Step 7: 2142 + 357 = 2499
Step 8: 2499 + 357 = 2856
Step 9: 2856 + 357 = 3213
Step 10: 3213 + 357 = 3570
Step 11: 3570 + 357 = 3927
Step 12: 3927 + 357 = 4284
Step 13: 4284 + 357 = 4641
Step 14: 4641 + 357 = 4998
Step 15: 4998 + 357 = 5355
Step 16: 5355 + 357 = 5712
Step 17: 5712 + 357 = 6069
Step 18: 6069 + 357 = 6426
Step 19: 6426 + 357 = 6783
Step 20: 6783 + 357 = 7140
Step 21: 7140 + 357 = 7497
Step 22: 7497 + 357 = 7854
Step 23: 7854 + 357 = 8211
Step 24: 8211 + 357 = 8568
Step 25: 8568 + 357 = 8925
Step 26: 8925 + 357 = 9282
Step 27: 9282 + 357 = 9639
Step 28: 9639 + 357 = 9996
Step 29: 9996 + 357 = 10353
Step 30: 10353 + 357 = 10710
Step 31: 10710 + 357 = 11067
Step 32: 11067 + 357 = 11424
Step 33: 11424 + 357 = 11781
Step 34: 11781 + 357 = 12138
Step 35: 12138 + 357 = 12495
Step 36: 12495 + 357 = 12852

So, 357*36 = 12852
